Chapter 1555 - 954: The New Rule

Chapter 1555: Chapter 954: The New Rule

After much effort, Emperor Huanfen regained visibility, and as she opened her eyes, she saw a narrow, powerful bull’s face suddenly appearing in her view.

Though she had seen many such beings before, she could even discern the kind from the appearance of this bull—Departure Fire Divine Bull.

No, it’s not an ordinary Departure Fire Divine Bull; its bloodline has reached an unprecedented level of sublimation...

But regardless, suddenly seeing a bull’s face upon opening her eyes was somewhat unsettling for the woman.

She quickly realized that this was certainly not beneath the stone coffin.

Was it the shrine of that fellow Daoist that saved her?

Did it really work!?

But how did her restored fleshly body come about?

Was the power of that shrine truly so immense?!

Could it even restore a body of the Sacrificial Path State in an instant?

The woman’s heart was astoundingly shocked, finding it truly unbelievable.

That there could be a Spiritual Treasure in this world capable of affecting this realm.

What is the Sacrificial Path State?!

Surpassing the limits of the path, reaching the only one.

"Fellow Daoist, are you awake?"

Just as the woman’s heart was full of wonder, a gentle and warm voice arose nearby.

She immediately turned to look.

She saw a familiar face coming into view.

It was none other than Jiang Hui.

Inexplicably, the woman’s mind relaxed instantly.

Thus, it confirmed that it was indeed the mysterious shrine that showed its power, saving her,

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the rescue."

The woman was not someone who forgot to repay kindness.

If not for leaving her Primordial Spirit and True Blood in the shrine, she would have been completely obliterated and eroded by the ominous forces after millions of years, just like her physical body.

Although she wasn’t afraid of death, she didn’t want to perish that way.

With this thought, the woman thanked Jiang Hui again, a peerlessly strong presence in the Sacrificial Path Realm, in utmost sincerity:

"I will remember this great kindness and virtue. If there’s anything you need in the future, I will spare no effort. By the way, I still don’t know your name, Fellow Daoist."

Jiang Hui gently waved his hand, his smile warm like the sunshine of early spring:

"Fellow Daoist, you exaggerate. If you succeed in quelling the unrest on the high plains and restoring the world’s order, it would be a great blessing for the entire universe, and I would also benefit from it.

I was just going with the flow, offering a meager effort. Besides, talking to someone as righteous as you, how could I stand by and watch?"

"As they say, ’One who collects firewood for the people should not be left to freeze in the snow,’ nothing more than that."

"Though you are alone, you have a heart for all living beings; this responsibility is rare."

Speak to them in the same language.

The original text about Emperor Huanfen is just a few simple sentences in passing.

However, from the few words, it’s not hard to see that she was an unparalleled figure like the Cruel Man and Willow God with the temperament of taking the world’s spirits as one’s duty, willing to stand up for all living beings, unconstrained by worldly ties, and only aiming to quell turmoil.

One who collects firewood for the people should not be left to freeze in the snow.

Even if the other’s power was weak, such behavior was respectable.

Especially considering she was the first Sacrificial Path existence among all beings,

However, her fate in the original text was rather tragic, alone, she stormed into the ominous lands for resolving the black fog but ultimately met a tragic end on the high plains, with her Primordial Spirit suppressed in a stone coffin, eventually obliterated.

Later, when Emperor Huang Tian’s transformative blood traveled through the sea of time, he discovered a lingering spiritual mark left by Emperor Huanfen and took it along.

But by then, Emperor Huanfen was impossible to return again, leaving only lingering impressions in future generations.

Her spirit later manifested Lin Nuoyi from the Era of Sacred Ruins.

When Chu Feng broke through to Immortal Emperor, Emperor Huanfen passed all her Dao Fruit heritage to Lin Nuoyi, erasing all her imprints from future generations, ultimately disappearing completely.

There is no longer Emperor Huanfen in the world!

When Jiang Hui read this part of the book, he felt quite regretful about her fate.

At that realm, even illuminating the heavens, it would be difficult to return, truly no longer existing.

Unexpectedly, in the era he existed, he happened to encounter Emperor Huanfen’s expedition to the highlands.

If he hadn’t encountered it, it was fine; upon meeting her, he naturally pitched in where he had the ability, fulfilling a regret.

Coincidently, he had in his possession an item limited to saving a Sacrificial Path realm being, originally intended to keep for his own future use, but its current effect was much greater.

Not to mention, Emperor Huanfen was the first Sacrificial Path being of the Ten Thousand Clans, and her pollen system was the only workable system in the Era of Sacred Ruins.

If they could forge a bond, given her character, she would certainly be as reliable an ally as Willow God, Cruel Man, Emperor Huang Tian, and Ye Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Hui, you flatter me; I merely did what I thought necessary."

Emperor Huanfen chuckled softly and then changed the topic, "But indeed, as Fellow Daoist predicted, I never expected that the eerie source on that highland was not just one..."

"Oh?" Jiang Hui timely showed his surprise.

He then heard Emperor Huanfen continue, "That eerie source, there are three in total; as for whether there are any hidden ones, I am not aware. But those three, all exist in the Sacrificial Path Realm, and more crucially, that Ominous Plateau is extremely peculiar, seemingly already connected with those three eerie sources, possessing unimaginable mysterious power, enabling the three eerie sources to resurrect without limit..."

Jiang Hui once again showed his surprise at the right moment.

Though he had long known it all, he naturally couldn’t show it.

Emperor Huanfen looked slightly worried, after all, three eerie sources of the same realm, gaining the revival ability from the highlands.

She was fortunate to escape the deadly disaster, but if she charged back, it would be the same result, even with foresight; she would still be suppressed.
